Green tech finds (1/29/10)

A bit of a weird, carnivorous motif running through this week’s green tech finds… check out the fly-eating clock, and nuclear wasted-eating material modeled on Venus fly traps…

How green is the iPad? Apple has the spotlight this week with the launch of its new tablet computer. MNN and The Daily Green take a look at its green features.

Solar to the rescue in Haiti: We’ve mentioned one use of solar technology to help out in post-quake Haiti; MSNBC’s Cosmic Log has found quite a few more. (via EcoGeek)
